Currently there is no standalone-backup for the forum available, because Asgaros Forum is tightly connected to WordPress itself. This means it uses the existing users, taxonomies, etc. A backup and restore-process means, that users would get replaced. This would be fine for the forum, but could destroy all other content-relation in your WordPress installation, because also blog-posts and comments and other plugin-data may be connected to user-data which does not exist in your backup.
For this reason I suggest you to make full backups of your WordPress database to ensure the integrity of your overall database when restoring data.
